[gui-talk] Optical Recognition of pdf image files

[Hoffman, Allen]

One last time.
Who's form is it?
Often for one time stuff where you have not input capability getting it fixed is simply not worth the effort, however, sometimes it is and such should be brought up with the form owners.  We really can't complain about inaccessibility if the source doesn't even know they have an issue.

There is always the return on investment to consider--e.g. getting the job done sometimes is worth just getting a reader and git 'er done as Larry the Cable guy would say.

Lewis:

I concur with the recommendation of Messrs. Chong and Hyde: use a reader.

Folks,

I have been given a form 990 from our affiliate to review.  It is a pdf file
containing images.  What do people recommend for Optical character
recognition of this file.  I really do not want to spend $1,000 to solve
this problem.  The file has 28 pages.

Thanks.
